Believe it or not, I'm getting pressure to have that done as well. The gastroenterologist today was really pushing for it because my mother had polyps. I told him I'd need a better reason than that.
They're going to start with a CT scan. I'm ok with that I guess. But I'm holding firm on the colonoscopy. It doesn't sound like it was that bad for you though? I've been hearing horror stories about the preparation for it.
No, not going to do it. Can't even stand the thought of doing it. He says they'd give me drugs for the procedure. Heck, they'd have to start the drugs the moment I agreed to do the test, take care of all the preparations when I was out cold. And while they were at it, they could leave me under until the gas was gone.
